Good! All fans are the same so that should be easy to do.

Agreed. Every time positive Qatar news come out they pour cold water on it.
Whether it’s not wanting to see United with vast resources or being against Qatar the English media definitely DO NOT want Sheikh Jassim to win.
So Chelsea sale to Boehly et al was agreed on the 7th May. It was then approved on the 24th May by the EPL. There was then a delay before it went through due to the U.K. Govt being involved but that doesn’t apply here. No idea why they’re suddenly saying 8-12 weeks.
I'm well aware it mentioned that company, where does it say QIA?
I'd imagine the same times journalist who told us Ratcliffe was going to be announced as the preferred bidder by the end of the week, over a month ago
Both were desperate for a sale. The Glazers are reluctant sellers.
What’s more impressive are Jim’s fanboys still hanging on to the belief he is still in the race. There’s so much smoke that it’s impossible to breathe but they still try to convince themselves there’s no fire.
Boom bust cycle continues
You don’t understand him. You never will.
No I follow Utd because my family is from the city and followed it for generations. Winning stuff is a bonus.
Well respected within business and finance, oh wait…
If you're convinced it's nothing but fluff, surely you're shorting the stock now, seeing as it would be heavily overvalued?
If you haven't, then you haven't looked.
I’d be surprised if there was a new owner by the new year.

Times is taking a hardline stance that is opposite to BBC and Reuters.. someone is getting lied to
This is why its best to wait for multiple sources. Even if its Reuters breaking the story.
Why do people get their knickers in a twist over what a reporter states.. Its all hearsay and gossip unless it includes on the record comments from the main parties involved.
Well, no it hasn't. Some people have said that it doesn't mean they've been granted exclusivity, which it doesn't, but it hasn't been widely dismissed and that line alone makes me not trust the article

Good point.
People say that Qatar buying United is the nail in the coffin for fair play in football. But what this proves is our reach is so huge that this can aspect of football ownership can now come to the forefront proper and be seriously addressed by virtue it's so well publicised.
Maybe it won't happen but usually change happens when the number of people and the brand affected is significant. No one cares about City and not many cared about Newcastle but Manchester United is just another universe.
If it's the same guy, he would have been made a director of a state investment Company at the age of 21. That seems unlikely.
I think what's also possible is that this is another bloke with the same name.
Same thing happens when you Google search "Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani" and it brings up results for loads of people besides the guy who's supposedly bidding for us.
People only like news they want to hear.
Poking their heads up saying I told you so as if they weren’t relying on these very same links and sources for 6 months now.
because my post was about that… and not the embarrassing United fans automatically jumping to their defence in an article that doesn’t mention us at all.
but good to see you’d do the same. Good little doggy
They really think we are idiots and dumb at maths. What way their bid is superior to SJ is beyond me.
Its the personal attacks on journalists I find pathetic. I hope none of these posters ever voted for Boris...
its a shame Ratcliffe's entire bid reeks. A year ago I thought he might be our saviour. Instead he's desperate to get into bed with the Glazers, wants to sign up for a load of new wall street debt and doesn't want to do anything about the existing Glazer debt. Even his attempts at PR spin have been god awful
I've become so bitterly anti-Ratcliffe because he is such a fecking disappointment in every way imaginable.

It’s Times Sport.
Oh behave
What state company?

The Times article is a bit weird. They say the Reuters article was widely dismissed.... they just making shit up
It doesn't, that's why I linked what it does say. The point is he's an investment specialist, whos registered a company called 92 Holdings with Sheiikh Jassim. You cant make it up. Says to me he wants it, done deal.

I can live with not being accepted in his or your family. That'll do me.
Getting proper tiresome
Just because someone reports something you don't like doesn't mean it's fake or they have some imaginary agenda.
The best journo's have sources from both sides and they are saying Ineos and 92 are basically confident but haven't heard back yet.
Decent article on the origins and evolution of the term -https://www.jstor.org/stable/25741178
Possibly among those in the know, as opposed to gleeful forum dwellers reloading pages every 5 seconds.
I don’t think the Times report has a clue about what Reuters broke today.
